- Christopher David, the Navy veteran beaten by federal agents in Portland, told ABC he fears that Trump's deployment could lead to impostors.
- "Anybody can go to the store and buy… used combat fatigues, get an unmarked minivan, and then go off and abduct people off the streets," he said. "And we won't know if that's the federal government or just some civilians playing dress-up."
- David, whose hand was fractured by federal agents on Saturday, also said he believes his case has attracted so much attention because he's "an old white guy."
- He asked: "If I had been a Black veteran that had gotten beaten down, do you think I would have gotten as much attention as I did?"
